DESCRIPTION:
(from Discovery's press release, September 2014) Discovery Channel's newest take on survival, adventure series TETHERED, premiering on Sunday, October 5 at 10 PM, tests human's ability to survive in some of the most extreme environments on the planet while enduring psychological torment like never before- being bound to complete stranger by a six foot tether. Many survival situations involve complete strangers, to make it out alive splitting up is the last thing they should do- in TETHERED that's not an option! Two people from completely different walks of life, embark on a journey across treacherous terrain - tied together. Dropped at the meeting point with just the tether that binds them, a basic map and a limited survival kit, each duo has 10-12 days to overcome the challenging terrain and each other in order to escape the wild and reach rescue. Each TETHERED participant has varying degrees of survival skills and all are eager for a life-changing experience. Each location provides its own unique sets of challenges. From trekking through bear-infested woods in Alaska, to swimming across shark-infested waters in Panama, another avoids alligators in the Louisiana swamps and one finds themselves hanging over a waterfall after making a hasty decision that could cost them the game.
